TENSOU SENTAI GOSEIGER

 

TENSOU SENTAI GOSEIGER is the thirty-fourth installment of TOEI Company's long-running Super Sentai series. The sentai's, this time, make use of cards to access their powers and weapons. It is set to hit the airwaves one week after Samurai Sentai Shinkenger's finale on TV Asahi.

Tensou Sentai Goseiger are angels called "Gosei Angels" sent to defend the earth. And against these creatures, the Goseiger will protect the earth from. Each Goseiger has a Tensouder(their morphers). By inserting Gosei Cards where their Gosei Powers are sealed into the Tensouder, they are able to transform, unleash their power and utilize Tensou Techniques to fight evil. Aside from their Gosei Power, individually, they make use of Gosei Weapons and Gosei Blasters sidearm. Each Gosei Blaster has an interchangeable Gosei Header component that resembles their totem animal. As for the villains, no information has been released yet though we know that the army of the villains are called Machuuhei Biibi (Demon Insect Soldiers Beebi).

CAST:
Chiba Yudai as Arata/Gosei Red
Rika Sato as Eri/Gosei Pink
Hamao Kyousuke as Aguri/Gosei Black
Mikiho Niwa as Mone/Gosei Yellow
Kento Ono as Haido/Gosei Blue

Personal Thoughts:

I learned about the new set of super sentai from Hamao Kyousuke's blog. Last January 1, Hamao-san was so excited to say that a new squadron will be released and he will be taking part of it. I always wanted to see Hamao-san to be part of the Super Sentai. I was quite surprised and excited when he mentioned that he will be part of a Super Sentai series. This announcement of his answered the question that was running through my mind about the role he mentioned in his earlier blogs that he has never played before. I'm quite excited for him. I wish Yanagishita-san could also be part of the Super Sentai Series.

Anyway, about the series, I am quite intrigued because this is the first time that they made used of angels (Tenshi) as the defenders of the earth. Although, it will really be unbelievable since an angel cannot be overtaken by a single demon, but that is not going to be true here because, of course, the protagonists will definitely be given a hard time before they can achieve victory, like most Super Sentai series are. Interesting thing though is that the colors of the Sentai's came back to the first set of colors I could remember from the series... RED (aka), PINK, BLACK (kuroi), Yellow (kiiro) and Blue (aoi)... Like most of the super sentai series, the zords will be animals but TOTEM animals so I am guessing it would be Wolf, Hawk, Bear and Monkey.... but I am not really certain, I am just basing it on the Totems that I see. Anyway, I am really excited about this, I just hope that they will have a good storyline for this.

Introduction of casts and characters will be on January 30 and 31, 2010 at the TOKYO DOME CITY event.

According to sources the first episode will be on the 14th of February.... I'm so excited....

Review:

Even as a child, I am a fan of the super sentai series and have watched many of this series. Personally, I liked this Super Sentai Series because of the story line.This is just one of my favorites Super Sentai Series. At first, when I read about this series I wasn't excited, but as I started watching the series, I found that the story is quite interesting. The characters were well played and the  weapons are great. If anything else, I strongly suggest that you watch this series. In here, we will see how one can develop trust amongst the rest, trust in one's abilities, the love of friends, importance of friends, and about family.
